Remove IObit Apps Toolbar v7.4 by Spigot

Installs a Spigot toolbar in your Web browser that collects and stores information about your web browsing habits and sends this information to Spigot so they can suggest services or provide ads via the toolbar. The toolbar is typically included with several IObit software products as an optional install.

Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The program adds a toolbar to Microsoft Internet Explorer. The primary executable is named WidgiHelper.exe. A majority of users end up uninstalling this less than a week of it being installed. The setup package generally installs about 9 files and is usually about 1.44 MB (1,514,158 bytes). The installed file applicationupdater.exe is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered.
